CHRIS COLEMAN admits he is still very much in the hunt for Freddy Eastwood as he looks to bolster Coventry City's attack.

The Sky Blues' boss has turned his attention to his strike force and remains a big fan of the transfer-listed Wolves forward and Wales international.

"A striker is my priority now," he said, "and I would be a hypocrite if I said Freddy wasn't in our sights any more.

"Just because it didn't work out when we tried to sign in last season doesn't mean I don't still think he is good player. He is No.9 for his country and is a player I like. Whether or not we can take it further and do a deal with his club, I don't know.

"We struggled to do it last season but who knows. But he is still a player I like."

The sticking problem appears to be Wanderers' asking price of £1.5 million, the fee they paid Southend United 12-months ago for the then prolific striker.

But given the fact that Eastwood's career never took off at Molineux, his value has clearly gone down.

City have also been linked with Southampton's Poland international Grzegorz Rasiak.

Meanwhile, reflecting on his current striking options, Coleman added: "We have got Michael Mifsud and Leon Best who are good young and exciting players.

"Michael had a barren spell at the end of the season and didn't score for however many games it was.

Besty is still young and there was a lot of pressure on him last year when we played him down the middle by himself but he has got a lot of potential.

"We need to improve in most areas but we are looking for a striker.

"We have got Robbie Simpson who has not had a lot of experience at this level, so we are looking to strengthen in what is probably the hardest and most expensive area because everyone is looking for one. But if we can get it right maybe we have got a chance."
